The liver is not subject to aging

03.12.2023

German researchers from the Technical University of Dresden have come to a surprising conclusion: the human liver does not age. This is due to the continuous renewal of cells in this organ, which makes the age of the liver no more than three years, regardless of the age of the owner.

Scientific work confirms the liver's amazing ability to renew itself and minimize the impact of time on its condition. Taking care of your diet and active lifestyle has a beneficial effect on this key organ, supporting your overall health.

The rate of liver cell regeneration has a direct impact on the efficiency of removing toxins and other harmful substances from the body. The process of processing toxins causes temporary damage to cells, but then they quickly recover and continue to perform their functions.

The average “age” of the liver is estimated at three years or even less, which is confirmed by analysis of the tissues of this organ. It retains its youth thanks to constant cell renewal. It is important to note that not all liver cells are equal in their rate of regeneration; individual cells can be about 10 years old, depending on the set of chromosomes.

To maintain the health of the liver and the whole body, you need to pay attention to nutrition. It is recommended to include fiber-rich foods in your diet, such as bran and durum wheat pasta, as well as enrich your diet with fruits and vegetables. Physical activity also plays a key role in keeping the body healthy at any age. It is also important to reduce your salt and sugar intake to ensure the full functioning of this important organ.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Curcumin Prevents Vision Loss 29.09.2022

Researchers at Imperial and University College London have developed a new way to deliver curcumin that scientists believe will help diagnose and treat glaucoma more effectively at an early stage.

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases characterized by increased intraocular pressure. The patient may develop various visual defects up to blindness.

The pigment contained in turmeric protects the nerve cells of the retina from damage. Previously, researchers believed that curcumin could only be delivered orally, but this method could not be effective because the component is poorly soluble in the blood. In order to get the right dose of the substance, a person would have to take up to 24 tablets per day, which is fraught with digestive problems.

Scientists have solved this problem by developing a special "nanocarrier" in which curcumin is contained inside a surfactant that is safe for health and is used in eye drops.

Experts say that the new delivery method increases the permeability of curcumin by 400 thousand times and allows you to effectively localize the substance in the eye tissues. Experiments on glaucoma rats have shown that the use of drops reduces the rate of degradation of the retina.
